Autant dire que les derniers jours d'Octobre vont être sport des deux cotés..

Opération Babeldoab

Avec la prise des bases dans les Celebes et la neutralisation de l'ile de Mindanao en cours, notre flanc sud et ouest est protégé. De plus Babeldoab est à porté de P-38 et de B-24. On se décide à attaquer cette grosse base du pacifique centre, nous rapprochant ainsi des Mariannes.

L'invasion commence, avec une mauvaise surprise, notre flotte de débarquement va être soumis à un plus de 300 pièces d'artillerie. Fort heureusement c'est le BB Colorado qui fait écran, encaissant fort bien les obus de moindres calibres.

les unités suivantes participe à l'invasion:
Infanterie: Americal Infantry & 23rd Marine Rgt
Tank : 1st USMC Tank Battalion & 754th Tank Battalion
Artillerie : 134th Field Artillery Battalion & 2/16th Field Regiment & 1st Medium Regiment
